Here's my 15' row of Stewart's Zeebest okra today. I have four similar rows of other okra varieties.

Some of these plants are as little as 8" apart and they probably ought to be thinned. I've transplanted all the okra I can into gaps in the rows and I don't have any more room for it. After all the trouble I had getting it to come up during our cold spell in May, and after having to replant, I hate to kill any plants.

I've fertilized and mulched these rows, and there's a soaker hose under the mulch in each row. My okra will have real good growing conditions from here on, and I'm hoping it'll do OK even if the plants are a bit crowded. We'll see.
